Wax question

Postby TroutBum » Fri Jul 25, 2014 1:14 am

Do you need to remove the cold water wax when the water warms up or can you apply warm water wax over the cold? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I wouldn't bother - but I guess the temp is usually pretty constant where I surf, so no real issues with the wax rubbing off or being too hard. General rule is put the warmer wax on your board first as a base, the put the softer cold wax on top over winter.
